Carney is trying to rebuild Canada’s PHYSICAL industries including petroleum and mining. We haven’t even thought about changing our ways.
Here’s a list of 28 “breakout” startup firms, all growing fast and hiring. NOT ONE is physical or even derived from physical. Nobody is developing a new Cellophane Tape or Facial Tissue or Bun Sandwich, let alone a new tractor or printer or even a fucking computer. They’re all convoluted derivative “services”, aimed at DEGRADING the performance of lesser derivative “services”. AI marketing advice, AI customer support, identity governance automation. All of our capital is aimed in one direction, handing Sam Altman a piece of “services” that nobody needs or wants in the first fucking place.
Admittedly our petroleum sector is strong and growing, and some types of manufacturing are still strong. Cars and specialized trucks are major industries. Beyond those solid areas, it’s all China.
